HELP! Trying to UPDATE temp table HELP!

Hi fellow netters! I am trying to create a temporary table, insert some elements from another table, then go thru the temporary table using a cursor and do some updating of other elements. All works except: 1. I can't DEFINE a memory record LIKE the temporary table because it doesn't exist at compile time so I assume I must define the entire memory record via listing all of the elements, but if I do that then: 2. I can't UPDATE the temporary table using UPDATE temptablename SET temptablename.* = memrecord.* because I get a compile error saying that memrecord was not defined using the RECORD LIKE phrase. Is this a know bug and is there any workarounds? By the way, I'm on 4GL version 4.0, OnLine engine and HPUX 7.0.
